King Oyo’s burial sparks unity call amid succession clash

The 25‑year‑old generation, born 1997–2012, never witnessed the 9/11 attacks firsthand. Their memories arise from later school lessons and family conversations. Students like Avery Black and Annie Erickson recall the day’s details only after their parents explained it at home. They also highlight how U.S. states vary in teaching 9/11, and how many Gen Zers now use humor or personal stories to cope with the event’s weight. The article explores how these young adults are piecing together the history of the day and how it shapes their view of today’s world.

Israel’s military announced it blew up a large Hezbollah tunnel‑network deep in southern Lebanon, detonating 1,000 tonnes of explosives and collapsing over 2km of tunnels. The blast triggered seismic activity of magnitude 4.1, and residents reported a fireball and near‑earth‑quake‑like shaking. The IDF claims the complex held a command centre and dozens of rockets, missiles and drones. Local officials say the attack is part of a wider Israeli campaign that has taken control of a “security zone” in the region, while casualty figures remain high.
